Health Care Support Worker competitive Rates of Pay in Bangor

Support work is an impactful job. Join Positive Futures as a Support Worker and help people with a learning disability, acquired brain injury or autism to live independently, and to have real choice and control over their own lives. You'll get to know the person you're supporting properly: their goals, their routines, what independence looks like for them. From there, you'll support them with everything from daily living skills and personal care, to getting out into their community, keeping in touch with the people who matter to them, and speaking up for themselves. Receive a full, paid induction before you're expected to hit the ground running, and join a dedicated team who'll support you every step of the way. Help people manage their homes, their finances, their health and their social lives, all in a way that puts their choices first. No experience required, just the right qualities: Wed encourage you to apply as soon as possible if youre interested. About The Role Every day looks a little different, because every person you support is different too. As a Support Worker, you'll form a positive relationship with the person you support, always maintaining appropriate professional boundaries with them and their families. You'll help them look after their home, manage their money and medication as independently as possible, and get the right support from other services when they need it, whether that's a GP, a social worker, or an advocate. You'll support people to stay safe and healthy in every part of their life, including personal care where it's needed, always treating people with dignity and respect. You'll help them get out into their community, stay connected to the people who matter to them, and speak up for themselves, seeking advocacy support where it's needed rather than deciding things for them. You'll also act as a role model for other staff and volunteers, sharing what you learn and helping new colleagues find their feet. Accurate record keeping (incidents, risk assessments, communication logs) is part of the job too, using our usual digital systems. Required Criteria Personal or work experience of providing care or support for someone Basic digital skills e.g. to record notes and use rota, HR or care systems.
